Popular Post CassieQ Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 10, 2021 5 hours ago, Marty said: 'Human remains' find turned out to be a potato - UK police A dog walker in northeast England sparked a large-scale police search after reporting suspected human remains in a muddy field. But the suspected grisly find turned out to be a potato, officers said today. Northumbria Police said specialist teams and sniffer dogs were sent to scour the field in the Winlaton area of Gateshead, after a concerned member of the public contacted them on Tuesday. An accompanying photograph sent to officers appeared to show a human foot, the force said on its Facebook page. "Eventually we tracked down the 'scene' only to discover the toe was in fact a potato with a mushroom growing next to it," a spokesman said. "We can only praise the vigilance of the woman who made the call and if anyone does come across suspected human remains, please do the same and give us a call. "If it does turn out to be a vegetable, our police dogs will thank you for the treat!"

Popular Post Marty Posted January 10, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 10, 2021 Here's how far I got before dark today in clearing the Russian vine and ivy in my garden. Actually, not very far at all, so far. The Russian vine tends to twist it's stems around each other, and also around the ivy branches and few briars and brambles that have also grown in amongst it all. Which makes it impossible to just pull stems apart. Instead, I am having to just about cut through each individual stem with the secateurs one at a time; and also work my way through the tangle just a few inches at a time. Hard work but, as long as the weather stays reasonably dry, I'll keep at it until everything has been cleared. If you look carefully at the nearest gable wall of the first stone shed, you will see that it is leaning inwards at the top. The inner stonework has been damaged, and I reckon the top of it will collapse inwards as I remove the overgrowing branches (which I think are all that's stopped it from falling up till now). But... don't start worrying, gang. My name is Marty, not Gary, and I will take every possible safety precaution. You might even notice I'm using a proper metal ladder to reach the top of the boundary wall. No standing on chairs for me. 7

Still be careful cause if it collapses inward then that will be when your ladder goes backwards with you on it! You need a long handle tree trimmer to cut those instead of being on even a ladder! 3 2
